How to recover lost AutoCAD DVB password manually

I have an old AutoCAD DVB file which is protected with the password and I forgot the password of that file :cry:. Does anybody knows the manual method to recover the .dvb file password.

Thanks in advanced.

I do not know of any way to recover the password, but I do know how to remove (or reset) the password. :mrgreen:


First, make a backup copy of the original .dvb file.

Next, open the *.dvb file using a hex editor, then look for the tag “DPB=”, replace that with “DPx=”, and save it.

After you load the modified project, you will need to click through all of the error messages... Then open the project properties, set a new password (that you can remember?), and then you can remove the password protection completely (if you want).


Cheers

It did not work for me.
Error: "The Modules are visible, code does indeed seem to work, but when opening a module, it says unexpected error (40230)"

I successfully reset my password using this vbapasswordrecovery.net/autocad-dvb third party tool.

It worked pretty well for me thanks!! I got to recover my dvb file thanks again!!

You forgot to change the password via properties.
